Dave Kim

Favorite TV ShowsCommunity, The Office, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Chuck, Burn Notice, Bones, Saved By The Bell, New York Undercover, Scrubs, Smallville, Transformers, Ghostbusters and Chappelle's Show, just to name a few. Oh yeah, the Nick Toons from the '90s, like Doug and Ren & Stimpy, were dope.
Favorite MoviesTerminator 2: Judgment Day (saw that when I was 8 years old. Gotta love cousins who don't care about movie ratings), Office Space, Superbad, Old School, Wedding Crashers (I love Rachel McAdams), Jurassic Park, Above The Rim, Friday, The Hangover, Serendipity (shut up, I love Kate Beckinsale too), Underworld, and Napoleon Dynamite (which I saw TWICE in theaters before it got popular with bandwagon fans).
Favorite Music
Now this is the tough one. Well, here goes. I love The Cure, Aaliyah (R.I.P. Baby Girl), 2Pac, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Rise Against, Mat Kearney, The Starting Line, Feist, My Chemical Romance, New Order, Depeche Mode, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Lifehouse (shut up), Avenged Sevenfold, Eminem, Kid Rock, White Stripes, Interpol, The National, Editors, Joe, Joshua Radin, Anberlin, and so many more artists that it would take forever to list. As you can see, I like a lot of different music.
Favorite Sports Teams
Of course I have to list my hometown teams, like the Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers. Lions who? Don't get it twisted. I am not a bandwagon fan. I've supported the Pistons through the teal jersey era and went to Tigers games when they were losing 100+ games a season.
Favorite Video GamesStreet Fighter II, The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy VIII, Metal Gear Solid, NHL '94, NBA Live '98, NBA Jams, Master Blaster, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, Goldeneye 64, Persona 3 and a couple of TurboGrafx-16 games. Yes, I own a TurboGrafx-16. Don't judge.

It wouldn't be Lollapalooza without a little thunderstorm. This time, however, hundreds of thousands of festival goers were evacuated from Grant Park in Chicago as festival organizers postponed Saturday's (August 4) performances due to inclement weather.

Lollapalooza 2012 has finally arrived this weekend! Over 100 bands are invading Grant Park in Chicago, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, Black Sabbath, Jack White and more, for three days of killer music. Keep checking WGRD.com for updates throughout the weekend.

The West Michigan Whitecaps have a three-game series against the Lake County Captains starting Wednesday, August 1, at Fifth Third Ballpark. GRD is giving away a 4-pack of tickets to Friday night's game, which you can enter below.

The boys in Papa Roach refuse to stay down, notching win number three under their belts with a victory over The Black Keys. The band and their new single, "Still Swingin'", will now defend their Rocktagon crown against new challenger Killinger.

Another night, another GRD Rocktagon as Papa Roach return for another round after disposing of Baroness with their new single, "Still Swingin'". This time Jacoby Shaddix and the boys take on blues-rock duo The Black Keys and their latest track, "Little Black Submarines".

The winning streak of Digital Summer has come to an end at the hands of Papa Roach and their new single, "Still Swingin'". P-Roach now find themselves the Rocktagon champion and their first title defense is against metal rockers Baroness.

It's no secret how much we love Halestorm here at GRD. From the first time we saw them live when they performed at our Bud Light Bash in September of 2009, we were hooked. The band just released their second studio album, The Strange Case Of..., in April and spent the last night of their headlining tour at the Intersection in Grand Rapids. Halestorm sat down with us to chat about the new record, how far they've come as a rock group, the Randy Blythe situation and more.

Phoenix, AZ outfit Digital Summer have been racking up quite the victory list as the current GRD Rocktagon champion. Tonight (July 24) they go up against the latest from Gaslight Anthem called "45". Vote for who you think should be the Rocktagon champion!

It's always a great time when our friends in Halestorm come to town. The band celebrated the last night of their current headlining tour at the Intersection in Grand Rapids. Check out our photo gallery of the band meeting GRD winners.
